STAR BOTTLE® – the out-of-this-world Christmas gift lands in the UK just in time for festive shoppers
Star Bottle®, the pioneering Italian deep space communication platform, launches in the UK with the ultimate gift for that person who has everything.
Star Bottle®, the first ever purchasable message to the stars, is now available – meaning you can pay for a message or even a photo or video to be sent into space, heading all the way to Polaris A, the North Star. And all for less than the cost of a British train ticket.
Available from just £49, you’ll get a digital kit which includes a pre-launch certificate and a fact sheet about the final destination.. Post-launch you will receive certification that your message was successfully beamed into space where it will outlast us all. You can choose from a digital gift or opt for a physical card that arrives in a beautiful gift box.
Domenico Zambarelli, CEO of Star Bottle®, explained that Star Bottle® is the ultimate unexpected present for those who prioritise meaning over material.
He said: “Star Bottle® is designed for those moments where traditional gifts and mainstream tokens of affection just aren’t enough.
“We have found a wonderful solution to: How do I show the person I love the most in the world how much they mean to me? By giving them something out of this world that lasts longer than any of us ever will.
“We are thrilled to now be able to offer people in the UK the chance to send a thought, a message, a photo or a video into the cosmos, creating an unwavering symbol of love and constancy that at the end of this year will set off to travel for 433 light-years through space.”
Founded with the aim of making interstellar communication accessible to everyone, Star Bottle® harnesses advanced M3SAT/Telespazio technology and has the authorisation of the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT). Every message sent receives a launch certificate, an official testament to the transmission into deep space.
The launch towards Polaris A is scheduled for December 30 2025, the date when the Star Bottle® vector will transmit all the messages that have been collected on the official platform through the language of space – binary code.
“The next chosen destination, Polaris A, is not random,” added Domenico.
“Known for millennia as the guide of the North sky, the North Star represents constancy, direction and hope. The hope is that it may also become a reference for our life on planet Earth and what humanity means to us all.”
